I am using Oracles XML Parser for C (ver 9i). I have a float or int value which i want to put in the xml document that I am creating. The part of the code is as below..


char str_l[50];
float height_l;
....
....

elem_l = createElement(ctx_i, (oratext *)"HEIGHT");
if (!appendChild(ctx, parent_l, elem_l))
{
printf("Error Creating Element\n");
return FAILURE;
}


parent_l = elem_l;

height_l = 15.7;
sprintf(str_l, "%f", height_l);

elem_l = createTextNode(ctx_i, str_l);

if (!appendChild(ctx, parent_l, elem_l) )
{
printf("Error Creating Element\n");
return FAILURE;
}


This put 0.00000 as the value of height in the document. ie the o/p is

<HEIGHT>0.00000</HEIGHT>


Can anyone help me out with this.

Thanks and regards
